Hi Pink,
Sorry you have to go through pain for this. The infusion center can do a blood draw when they do your IV. They already stuck you and they can take a few seconds to do the draw before they run the IV. Ask your doc if he can get the sample when the infusion center does the stick. That way you only have to endure one stick.
My doc still runs all the tests once every 6 months, but I have regular contact with him outside of appointments and he is always looking for signs and symptoms of something wrong when he sees me. He's very observant and there are times when I feel like a bug because I know he is doing a survey while we are chatting!
Good Luck!
